I did. And I was not impressed by the array of engine poisons in their stable. Very wicked assemblage. I think something is wrong with the regulatory authorities.. I am going to do MRS OR LIQUI MOLY.
Nurey has been quite educative about MRS SYNTHETIC 5W-40. 8000KM OR 6 MONTHS.
LIQUI MOLY 15,0000km or a year.

Should I send the number of the DG, SON? He is just there doing nothing. Enjoying the perks of office and not being able to make a change. I have written to the Md of Total and they acknowledged the email but so far, nothing has changed. Their 4x4 is the worst. The way they made it look, you will think it is one of the best oils. Api Sl being used on Gwagons and Range rovers.

For the L200, check the owners manual. All thesr cars sold brand new locally, they dont put the oil spec on the cover, they hide it in the manual and as we are too busy to read, we use the available oil. I once went to their office in VI and was particular about Pajero sport, we asked for the transmission fluid diaqueen j2 and they told me that they dont have it but they have partners that have it. If they dont have the gear oil, tell me which oil will they recommend to be used to service their cars, Total Q5000. Cfao recommends Total. The French Connection.

As for Nurey and his MRS on the Sienna, he has stated that it is good on his cars. I await the spec sheet of the oil from the lub manager. But one thing is certain, if a company can produce an oil that is obsolete with two classifications Api sc/sd and affix the NIS logo as a quality oil, who will believe their 5w40 to be good. Just like Total advertising latest oils on their Nigerian website and when you want to buy, you get obsolete oils on ground, can that brand be trusted? That is the issue on ground, lies and deceits and everybody is happy with it. Someone is about to buy an Suv for 150m naira and I begged him to import all the Mobil 1 his car will need for 5 years or else Nigeria will destroy the car for him. The oil is the lifeblood of any car, and if it is contaminated, it is either Hiv or hepatitis B, whichever way, no remedy or cure.

I recommend the MRS because of my observations concerning the oil. during my first ownership of the vehicle I had to choose between total 5W40, forte oil syn 10,000, and MRS, I went for the MRS because it was way cheaper not better back then in 2014.

I also decided to stick with 5k miles (8k km) after several research online as time went by after 2 service interval, I had a top gasket leak oil was sipping ontop the cover of the 1st oxygen sensor and dust was causing an eye sore so the engine was opened, the color was golden yellow I had no knowledge of engine at that time since I haven't had experience with sludge b4, I asked the mechanic if the engine had sludge he said no, I asked him how he knew by just looking and he explained what sludge in engine looks like.

in all fairness I have only clocked 8000km once in my service interval it has always been 6xxx to 7xxx most of the time so I mjorly used months and the guage indicator was alwys golden brown I have never had black guage in all my years of use.

after a year of fixing the top gasket it leaked again this time from the rear around the inward manifold which causes smoke on initial startup, it wasn't a child's play as a lot of things had to be removed to get there. I also checked the engine and asked the mechanic about sludge and his reply was no, engine was ok. that's almost 2 and half years of using the MRS, that's a total of 5 service interval.

the car still steams in the morning aand water droplets visible during very cold mornings

guage still maintains its golden brown colour after 6months

my engine kick down is still functional and I can clock 160km with ease if I choose to, minimal loss of power during hill climbing, engine should be nearing 400k km on the ODO

engine doesn't short oil, as I never use pass 5L for each service interval.

That would be great. We should at least get a feedback before taking them to the cleaners.

Interesting. I will be using liqui moly 10w40 semisynthetic.... because of its ability to restore seals. I would not like to work on my seals.

stop cracking early momo joke grin seals are made from rubber and once compromised, the only way to fix it is physically replacing, no oil can fix a slacken, expanded, disfigured seal.

but the right oil can protect the seal for a very long long long time.

it is good to go especially for German vehicles and it can attain 15k km according to user reviews, though manufacturer pegs it at 10k km or a year.

it contains an additive MOS2 which users says improves engine performance and noise cancellation. rated above the 5W40. utilize it if you can vouch for the product source also note the colour isn't your regular engine oil colour neither is it poster colour grin

You mixed up the super leigcthlauf 10w40 with the MOS2 10W40.... They're different oils. This is the image for the MOS2 version. While the blue is the super leigcthlauf version

you will not enjoy the MOS2 benefit in the super blue container. as the MOS2 has been touted over other variants in both petrol and diesel engines.

you are still good to go for 10k km but don't expect the benefits MOS2 users says the notice about engine performance.

So compared to the only 10w40 made by MRS and this, which one will you consider better. They are both API Sl .

So in all, we dont have any good locally made engine oil. This is the tel number of the Dg Son. 08037863835. If he is not capable, let him resign. No good oil and yet their logo is on every can even on Mrs Api sc/sd premier motor oil that kills an engine. Let everyone call him and not give him rest until something drastic is done to the engine oil sector.

No not like that, I have 4 MRS I price from depending on availability always cheaper by 1k to 500naira that's even for lagos island.

it may be cheaper in warri sef. but you already have a working price so try and confirm also check the weight as there is 10W40 semi synthetic that is identical but way cheaper

New cars buy imported oil. Was the toks and locally used oil built in Nigeria? You were the one that frowned at owners of expensive cars that uses 4k oil to service their cars. A used 2017 corolla is sold for 13m. Should the owner use our local oil?

Toks or Nigerian used car buy local oil.

Please when you buy or if you already bought Toks or Nigeria used car you can opt for local oil since your Toks or Nigeria Used Car is Manufactured locally by the local oil seller.

Whether Na New, Toks or Nigeria Used Car, just stick to the specified engine Oil Grade advises by Car Manufacturer.

Also those selling oil on the thread do not hold gun to your head to buy their oil.

Just read, understand and make a wise financial decision for your car.
